"Qin Fang, what are you doing..."

It was Tang Cheng who was pinned down by Qin Fang, his body unable to move. Seeing Qin Fang continuously applying acupuncture to him, he couldn't help but ask.

He naturally knew Qin Fang was skilled in acupuncture; Ye Xiang had been severely dealt with by Qin Fang before, and in the end, his father had to compromise voluntarily for the matter to be settled.

However, before, Tang Cheng had always been an onlooker, and now it's the first time experiencing Qin Fang's acupuncture treatment...

Those silver needles pierced into his body one by one, not bringing the expected pain, only a tingling sensation, gradually guiding fine streams of heat to circulate within him.

Tang Cheng himself was quite strong, reaching Level 5, having followed Old Master Tang's Imperial Guard to learn arts, though never cultivating inner breath; his external martial arts were quite proficient...

Internal breathing, external training of muscles and bones...

Tang Cheng didn't develop his inner breath, but he certainly honed his muscles and bones well.

With a robust body, his vitality was exceedingly strong, which is why despite such ordeals, Tang Cheng could endure until now.

If it had been someone else, it wouldn't take sorcery to kill them; they would have died from excessive bleeding long ago... Not even Scarface, Iron Head, or Mouse, these special forces soldiers, could withstand it; their strength is considerably weaker compared to Tang Cheng!

"Don't worry about it... Just lie down!"

Qin Fang was busy and couldn't explain much, only briefly replying before continuing his task...

Tang Cheng's wounds had already been stopped from bleeding by Qin Fang, and were now quickly scabbing over. Qin Fang initially wanted to give Tang Cheng a blood transfusion, but unfortunately, the conditions didn't allow it, so he had to drop the idea.

Such a depletion of vitality, even for a tough guy like Tang Cheng, was a significant drain; even though Qin Fang saved him this time, he's likely in for a serious illness.

The Nine Revival Needles were extremely profound, and if Qin Fang had already reached mastery, applying them became more adept; many difficult conditions could be treated with a single needle.

Tang Cheng's external injuries weren't much, apart from the self-inflicted one, just a few abrasions, which Qin Fang could simply treat without any issues.

The more bothersome issue was the arm that had been bled by the military spike; controlling the bleeding required Qin Fang to put in some effort. But ultimately, there were no accidents; the bleeding was halted, and the wound started scabbing.

However...

After handling these minor troubles, Qin Fang had to confront the two major issues with a furrowed brow.

Sorcery and severe loss of vitality...

Just as Mouse had suspected earlier, Tang Cheng indeed fell victim to sorcery, and it was more complicated than Qin Fang estimated—it turned out to be dual curses, which made it even more troublesome for Qin Fang.

Regarding the drug-induced Gu Poison part of the sorcery, Qin Fang had some methods to deal with it; his blood, containing the dragon qi from Little Dragon, served as the best medicine, bane to all venomous creatures.

Encountering this dragon qi, the Gu Poison either fled Tang Cheng's body or softened and was gradually expelled by Qin Fang's skill.

But what worried Qin Fang was that the sorcerer seemed to be a master, capable of crafting such dual curses, interlinked, amplifying the power several times over, making the rescue notably difficult...

The "head" in sorcery employed a peculiar use of "spiritual power," akin to a ghost possession in legends, essentially a very sinister witchcraft.

It's not an attack by external forces but an intangible thing, something even Qin Fang had no solution for...

Since these two facets complement yet balance each other, if Qin Fang removed the Gu Poison's toxin, disrupting this balance, it wouldn't be a help, but rather push Tang Cheng to a dead end.

Solving the severe vitality depletion, comparatively easier, only requires Tang Cheng to leave here, consume more vitality-replenishing medicine or supplements, and nurture himself for half a year to a year, essentially recovering...

However, in the current situation, if the sorcery wasn't removed, surviving three days would be a question for Tang Cheng, let alone half a year or a year.

Without sufficient vitality to support him, Qin Fang couldn't risk attempting to dispel the sorcery for Tang Cheng... not even daring to try it once lightly.

These entangled dilemmas troubled Qin Fang, making decision hard, looking at the motionless Tang Cheng, Qin Fang's expression showed hesitation.

"Could it really be that the only way is..."

Actually, Qin Fang always had an idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to try it easily, because the danger hidden within it was also extremely apparent.

Tang Cheng's current situation is also very dire. If that method isn't used, even if Qin Fang luckily neutralizes the sorcery on him and saves his life, his career would be completely ruined.

No one would want a sickly person to command such an elite special forces squad... even if he ended up in this situation by defending military honor.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Fang looked at Tang Cheng's eyes filled with doubt and said slowly, this is not something he can decide alone; Tang Cheng, as the person concerned, must also be informed, and the real choice is in his hands.

"Brother Cheng, it might be very painful next, but it will be very beneficial to you... If successful, not only will all your injuries fully heal, but you will also condense a pure True Qi..."

"However... there is great danger involved. If a single step goes wrong, it will certainly pose great danger to you, even... losing your life!"

Qin Fang was verbose this time, some crucial points were not explicitly stated, but these few sentences already thoroughly expressed what he intended to convey.

The advantage of this method is very clear, but the risk is also evident, especially given Tang Cheng's frail state; the danger is definitely far higher than fifty percent...

"Such good news? I really want to give it a try..."

It seemed Tang Cheng automatically ignored the warning about the danger mentioned earlier, responding right after hearing Qin Fang's first statement.

"Brother Cheng, this method is very dangerous, even with my assistance, I can't assure the success rate exceeds fifty percent..."

Seeing Tang Cheng's indifferent demeanor, Qin Fang felt somewhat troubled and regretted proposing this idea, repeating it emphatically.

The decision lies with Tang Cheng, but as the practitioner, Qin Fang must explain everything beforehand...

"When did you become so hesitant? Anyway, my life is borrowed time, and I'm practically close to death now, there's nothing I don't dare to try..."

Seeing Qin Fang's hesitant demeanor, Tang Cheng was displeased and boldly expressed himself, as if indifferent to life and death, carefree and resigned.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar brother-in-law in front of him, Qin Fang felt deeply touched.

He used to think that Tang Cheng was a good person, unlike those arrogant and domineering privileged young masters, instead somewhat amiable and approachable.

But until this moment, Qin Fang truly sensed Tang Cheng's uniqueness!

He is a true soldier!

"Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely help you get through this!"

Looking at Tang Cheng's calm eyes, Qin Fang's heart was unsettled, but time waits for no one. He immediately perked up, with a determined gaze, and confidence overwhelmed every cell in his body...

For nothing else but for this true soldier before him, Qin Fang must heal him... even if it means considerable personal loss.

"Rest for a while first, I'll go prepare..."

He briefly communicated with Tang Cheng, and with a swift move, a needle was inserted in Tang Cheng's Heitian Point, quickly causing him to fall into a deep sleep due to a surge of drowsiness.

And Qin Fang indeed needed to make some preparations, such as...

"Brother Tietou, have your men guard here, no matter what happens inside, do not come in. We cannot be disturbed at all; otherwise, everything will be in vain... Brother Cheng's life is in your hands!"

He directed Iron Head and his team to guard at the entrance of the valley, ensuring they wouldn't disturb his treatment of Tang Cheng.

To be cautious, Qin Fang also issued strict instructions, and Iron Head had immense respect for Qin Fang now.

"Xiao Qin, rest assured, with me here, no one will interfere with you and the boss... Unless I die here, no one will get through..."

Iron Head vowed, almost ready to lay his heart open to Qin Fang.

With external issues resolved, the focus shifted to Qin Fang's preparations.

First, Qin Fang extended his arm, and a shadow swiftly flickered, bringing forth the towering figure of the puppet person before Qin Fang.

But Qin Fang evidently wasn't employing it to kill but to extract a small portion of its "asset"... the long-lost Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva!

Tang Cheng's condition was extremely critical, especially the two major issues were near insoluble, and Golden Dragon Saliva was the only way Qin Fang thought of to resolve both issues at once.
